I understand that using the TAB key will move the edit field. But some fields are not being highlighted. I have never used QSO entry on a manual basis before as I, until today, was an exclusive FT8 operator so all QSO entries were automatically added.

I have found that the start/end fields do not get highlighted. I would expect them to be highlighted and the time frozen on start/end QSO. Other fields do not get highlighted. A highlight to me means that the data in the entry box changes colour. In some cases, the data only gets a very difficult-to-see outline.

What are the padlock symbols for on the right of these date/time boxes? I cannot find info pertaining to this in the manual.

TIA

Guy

Guy,

Here is a clip from the "current" User Guide. I just did a search for "padlock". Page 27 is where it first came up with a result.

Hi Nolan,

I hope you are keeping well. Thanks for that. I searched for locked/locking <face palm>.
